Woodland Park Retreat

Amentites

The entire interior of our home at Woodland Park Retreat (WPR) is a tasteful blend of antique and modern European style decor.  It is extremely light and airy.  Although neither air conditioning or heating is needed in summer, there is a gas fireplace on the main floor and a gas stove on the lower floor, both of which are sufficient to heat the whole house.  If needed, there is also back up electric heating.  Wi-fi intenet is available during our high and mid-season.  Local telephone service is provided with but no long distance is available, so please bring a phone card.



Kitchen on Main Floor

Any Gourmet would be happy cooking in this fabulous cherry wood, fully fitted, designer kitchen.  Prepare anything from breakfast to a full feast to an impromptu "on the deck" snack.  Leave messages on the up-to-the-minute multilingual "talking" fridge, or get yourself some crushed, cubed ice or purified water.

All appliances are ultra modern with stainless steel stove, fridge freezer, microwave, ceramic cook top, oven and whisper-quiet dishwasher.  The dining room is adjacent to the kitchen or take your food outside and enjoy your meal al fresco on the deck just steps from the dining room.


With its pale sage green Corian counter tops and center island, this is a great place to come together and enjoy the company of family and friends over a delicious meal.






Great Room on Main Floor

The heart of the house, the great room is full of windows to let in the abundant Colorado sunshine and let you enjoy the beautiful Colorado scenery.  No window coverings needed here as you have complete privacy on this three acre woodland lot!

Several bookshelves around WPR feature a wide selection of books to choose from.  Also provided are maps and tourist information for the local area attractions.


The dining area has a sturdy, expandable pedestal table that seats eight formally.  There is an additional table and four chairs which can be used if needed.  Steps away through the patio doors is a wrap around deck with two large patio tables and additional seating, which provides a splendid view of the woodland.
